Headteacher Message

Hello all,

I hope you are all well. I have to say that my attempts at skipping today have forced a fitness re-think.  At 2.30pm the whole school stopped and we skipped.  In the corridors, in the hall, in the playgrounds.  It was lovely to be doing it all together and there was no lack of effort across the school.  

This will be a short newsletter, but that is because I am going to be asking for some of your time.

Below is the link to a very short questionnaire. I would be very grateful if you could spend some of your precious time filling it in.  Why?  Well that is a good question.  We have done a lot of work on ensuring that children have a voice within this school.  When I reflect on this, it is one of the things that I am most proud of at Darell; each one of your children feel that they will be listened to and taken seriously during the school day.  Well, now it is our turn to listen to you. Please look out for the email with the link.

We look forward to reviewing your feedback and making the school even better. Thank you and have a lovely weekend

Joe Porter
